Question

Have you guys ever heard about the crisis in Darfur?

There is a region in Sudan called Darfur. Since 2003, groups of armed gunmen made up of nomadic Arab tribes have been running around the ares. Calling themselves the Janjaweed, they began to attack the Christian population of Darfur.

Thousands of people die everyday. Thousands of women and children have been raped at gun point. Hundreds of thousands of people have fled Sudan to its neighbor, the country of Chad. It was their safe haven.

Until now.

The Janjaweed have have begun to form groups in Chad, killing the people who fled there for safety.

The U.S. have done almost nothing so far. Pres. Bush signed a petition in 2006 promising to do something about this atrocity. So far he has not kept his promise.

I am disgusted at how little the general public knows about this. My friend and I are currently setting up a charity dance in North Carolina to give money to African refugees of Darfur. We have called several stores asking

for them to fund us and everytime we tell the person what charity this is for they always ask "for what?" No one knows about this. No one.

If you are interested in coming to the dance email [e-mail] for more information.

This is a new genocide.

This is a new holocaust.
